by TeakisiBy Cynthia Kinyera I recently heard of body neutrality and one of my first thoughts was… why am I just finding out about this now?

Lovely event with a light-touch, informal and friendly feel. I had a chance to catch up with people I had not seen in ages, as well as to meet a few new people.

Food from the African continent or diaspora. And something slightly more structured (but still light-touch, fun and social) to encourage people to get to know about each other, and to find out more about Teakisi and the different initiatives which support different cultures and exchange and sharing in the region.
Had a great time at the event. The team were great and welcoming.
